Blocked ears. Suggested virus. Solution?

I have a blocked feeling in my ear like when you're swimming everything sounds muffled I had a cold which really clogged my sinuses and I took actifed which helped a lot but nothing has touched my ear. Still blocked. Saw the GP who told me it was just a virus going about and will go eventually on its own but it's been AMonth now and I hate it! Is there anything I can do?

I have gone through your query regarding blockade in ears which developed in the consequence of you cold. During cold nasal discharge is going back to throat and thus your throat becomes sore and here in the lateral wall of throat lies the opening of eustachian tube, which gets blocked and thus ventillation of middle ear suffers which ultimately give rise to blockade in ear.
